LONDON - Tiger Woods needs to expose his inner thoughts and feelings in a way he has never done before in order to connect with the millions of fans who follow him around the world, according to his former Ryder Cup captain Curtis Strange.Fourteen-times major champion Woods has always been careful with his words when dealing with the media and, despite pleas to be more forthcoming, he has been equally guarded since news emerged in 2009 of his marital infidelities.“I think he is missing a wonderful opportunity to show his personality and his inner feelings,” fellow American Strange told Reuters in a telephone interview. “He doesn’t tell us anything (meaningful), he never says anything to us.“The people don’t want everything but I think the general public and the press just want something. I don’t understand and don’t know why he wants to be so distant from the world.“The world still likes the man, there are a lot of people who don’t respect him any more but they still watch and he can still win them over. People forgive,” added the U.S. Open champion of 1988 and 1989.Former world number one Woods tumbled down the rankings following his marriage breakdown but two victories this year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida and the Memorial Tournament in Ohio have taken him back up to number four.Strange, who captained Woods at the 2002 Ryder Cup, said his fellow countryman would never again scale the golfing peaks the way he did a decade ago.
